Battlefield Bad Company 2 - connection lost

[Blackwhite]

Hi guys.
I wonder taht have you the same problem with BBC2 MP game?
After few minutes of play I'm loosing connection with server.I've tried everything but unfortunately doesn't work at all.
Do you have any solution for this problem?

Are you getting kicked by Punkbuster? Thats happening a lot, easy fix tho'.

 

[Blackwhite]

no not because of PB - just telling me I've lost connection with server, and I should check my internet connection.

Me and my brothers have had stupid connection and crash problems all day... Great fun when you get in to play, insanely frustrating when you crash 5 mins before your team wins and you lose all the points and unlocks you just achieved...

Yes, it's broken. 99% of people are having the same problem.

It's been a thoroughly frustrating day. Like most Sunday's i have some quality hours to PC game but the debacle with servers/punk buster and whatever else has ruined today for me.

I was teased for an hour this morning with, what is when you can play, an absolutely cracking game (even with bugs).

Initially it was PB dropping me failing to initialise, now EA is either down or connects and I'm simply unable to connect to a server, and on the off chance that I can, it will disconnect after several minutes.

Gah. Hohum.

Welcome to EA's frustration cloud.

Cheers, Paul.

EDIT - typo's corrected.

The same connection errors/issues all round im afraid, tis a great game though when it works ok.

Didnt have this for the first 2 days but got it now, i get the "you have lost connection please check your internet settings blabla" at around 15mins into a game each time. got in one before that lasted an hour or so then back to the 15mins connection loss.

whats annoying is it worked fine for me untill they took the login down now i get all the problems.

Yeah, I had a few rounds this afternoon and really enjoyed it. I hope the FOV patch comes out soon though.

Yep, really enjoyed it so far, though im hampered a bit with my 8800gt, wish my replacement gtx 275 would hurry up and arrive.

 

[doggles]

are there connection problems at the moment again then?

what's wrong with the fov?

The servers cant cope with the amount of users that's what I think is going on.
Inadequate servers.

Too zoomed in. Makes it difficult for me to aim and gives me slight motion sickness.

Id agree with this.

Off topic, nice sig C64.

ah I see.

now what you mean now you mention it

Typical EA Games i'm afraid. Been like this at the launch of pretty much every game in the Battlefield Series from 1942 onwards. Shoddy shoddy shoddy from EA. Then you add in one of the worst online anti cheat systems that kicks people for all the wrong reasons. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

 

[montymint]

Same issues here, it's been touch n go all day. I'm used to it by now since most online games i've played on release have lag / connection issues.

Sorry to take topic slightly off course but prey tell the easy fix please.
Tried to play this all day. Only way I managed to get a game was to search for games with PB off and the connection problems are of course unbearable.
